Noob question - Git from the Windows command line - is this normal?

Just trying to commit to my GitHub repository.

 

First time I've done it from Windows from the command line. Having sorted out my commit, I did `git push --set-upstream origin master` and this appeared:

Is that supposed to happen? Is it safe to put my username and password in here or is there something wrong?

Thanks for reading all this by the way!

By the way, my desktop is a docked laptop. Get over it, No seriously, I have an exterrnal monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, ethernet and cooling fans all connected. Using it feels no different to a desktop, it works for several hours if the power goes out, and disconnecting just a few cables gives me something I can take on the go. There's enough power for all games I play and it even copes with basic (and some not-so-basic) video editing. Give it a go - you might just love it.

If you're pushing through HTTPS, then yes. SSH would just require a key.

Well you can't push to github anonymously. If you haven't setup you login it will ask for it.

 

It is safe to login like this.

Setup ssh authentication for your github account, you won't have to go through this process again. But yes, it is safe to enter your credentials there.

Fair enough, I just wasn't sure if this window was meant to happen. I expected to be typing my password into the command line

 

(BTW don't quote the OP, they'll get a notification anyway)

I'm actually a real fan of this on Windows because it will automatically save your login info so you don't have to enter it every time. There is a function for this on Linux, but its a manual CMD-based process.
